Armed man held next to Bush’s Dallas home

A man detained by the Secret Service near the home of former George W. Bush said he was attempting to deliver a “spiritual message” to the former president, WFAA-TV reports on its website.

The man made it through a gate at the end of the block on Meaders Lane by closely following another vehicle. The Secret Service monitors the gate 24 hours a day with cameras and microphones.

The man told the Secret Service he got a “spiritual message” to come there to deliver that message to the former President. They searched the man’s car and found a weapon in the glove compartment of the vehicle.

The man does have a concealed handgun license in the State of Texas, according to the Dallas police.

Dallas police told WFAA they had no reason to hold the man, but the Secret Service was continuing to question him.
